Project Navel Applications Group 6 -Brian Baker -Conor Brady -Kevin Cawlfield -Brad Duncan
Background Many medical appliances on the market today. Most focus on just one area. Very few provide good service for those in remote areas. There is a need for a high quality all-in- one medical appliance that works well in the bush.
Project Navel Goals Provide communication with doctors. Allow for monitoring of patient data. Allow patient to check diagnoses of various medical conditions. Allow patient to check for reactions to poisons, drugs, etc. Provide a “daily living database” that gives advice for a healthy lifestyle.
Application #1 – Communication Communicate with doctor in an on- demand situation. During diagnosis, if condition is critical, immediately contact a doctor. Contact doctor in triage situation.
Application #2 – Data Monitoring Monitor a patient in an on-demand situation and simultaneously check condition database. Accumulate statistics for daily living database. Monitor automatically during an emergency.
Application #3 – Diagnosis Diagnosis starts upon command from user in either an on-demand or triage situation. Instruments are monitored and readings are compared to diagnosis database in order of severity. Serious Condition Intermediate Condition Mild Condition Reaction Doctor is contacted if necessary.
Diagnosis Database Contents Vital Signs Non-quantitative symptoms Predicted Disease Reactions Action to be taken
Application #4 - Reactions This feature is activated by the user in an on-demand situation. Monitor instruments if necessary. Depending on the severity and type of the reaction, inform a doctor. Instructions on what to do if symptoms worsen.
Reaction Database Contents Predicted disease Severity Necessity of calling a doctor Suggested reaction
Application #5 – Daily Living This serves the need of the user who goes for long periods of time in a remote area like a submarine. Will contain non-emergency topics only, but if a serious condition is encountered, the diagnosis application will take over. Focus on maintaining health and hygiene.
Daily Living Database Contents Hygiene Food/liquid intake Sleep Exercise Cautionary procedures Preventive measures
Basic Program Flow At any time, the user may check the daily living database for advice on maintaining good health When the user wants to check his/her health the progression is as follows: Monitor Data Check databases in following order: Serious condition database Intermediate condition database Mild condition database Reaction database If necessary, contact a doctor
